asset-assistant

The "assets" program is motivated by the need to automate the copying of assets from npm modules. The typical use case is for images and css files that need to be moved to a location accessible by the web server. It is assumed that javascript code will be packed and run from a single 'root' location.

The program will look for an "assets" field in the package.json file. This field can contain the following fields:

• src: A string, or array of string, listing the file locations to copy files from. Uses 'glob' format.
• dest: The destination directory to copy files to, only relevant to the top level project. Defaults to "build".
• flat: Defaults to false. if true, copy only the files, not the full directory paths. This overrides up.
• up: Defaults to n=1. Omit the first 'n' directories in the tree. Typically this will be the 'src' directory.
• inject-css: Defaults to not set. If set, to either a string or an array, set 'style' nodes in the specified html file(s).
